Advance praise for The Language of Houses “There's much to absorb in this sequel to Alison Lurie's The Language of Clothes, but The Language of Houses is an extraordinarily absorbing book—it wears its learning lightly, holding this reader's attention the way a fine novel does. I was particularly fascinated by the linked chapters on religious buildings and museums.” - James McConkey . author of Court of Memory
" Alison Lurie, in her lucid, jargon-free way, allows us to read what architecture is saying. Anyone who is building or decorating a house or office will benefit from her helpful analysis. She has culled the best ideas from a vast secondary literature and passed it all through the sieve of her brilliant mind. " -Edmund White
